Application led July 28,

My invention relates to an improvement in display devices and moreparticularly to a device adapted tor the display ot price cards inconnection with articles displayed in bins.

Heretofore various devices have been produced Yl'or displaying pricecards, but such devices have not given complete satisfaction chiefly forthe reason that they are readily displaceable and under conditions ofuse become wholly or partially displaced, with the result that theyeither wholly tail to perform their Jjunction or promote confusion.

Now, in accordance with my invention, l provide a device adaptable forthe support oit price tags with relation to goods which may be readilysecured to a bin, or other support tor the goods having a free edge,will be substantially displaceable under ordinary conditions when inplace and at the same time will be readily removable.

Having now indicated, in a general way, the nature andpurpose of myinvention, l will proceed to a detailed description et a preferredembodiment thereof with reference tothe accompanying` drawings in which:

Fig. 1 is a front view of a display device embodying my inventionattached to a bin shown in fragment.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view on line 2 2, Fia. l.

Fig. 3 is a. perspective view of a number ot bins with display devicesembodying my invention and supporting price tags in place* Fig. 4 is arear view of the subject of liig. l.

In the several Iigures (t indicates a cylindrical spring within whichare a pair ot jaws Z, forming a spring clip. The jaws l) are adapted tobe actuated to closed position by the spring a and are provided withlinger grips e by which the jaws may be opened against the action of thespring.

Secured intermediate its ends to one ott the linger grips is a cardholder d, the sides and one end oit which are bent over to forno groovestor the retention ot a card.

Tongues e are cut out of the body of the holder (Z adjacent its ends andextended at an angle to the holder. rllhe end portions of the tongues eare bent at an angle to form hooks e2 1927. SeraI No. 202,973.

ln. the use ol the device embodying my invention, assuming that .goods wto be priced are contained in one ot the bins formed by walls i, a cardbearing the price is inserted in the holder and the jaws b separated,against the action o1" spring e, and then engaged, under the action ofspring a, with one of the walls i/ of the bin adjacent its tree edge and1n such a position that the ears e will engage the edge ot' the wall,with their hooked end portions e extending beyond the edge.

lt will now be observed that the holder will be secured to the wall ofthe bin by the action of spring a and jaws and that the holder will beheld in alignment by the engagement ot ears e with the edge ot the wall.

twill be understood that the device according to my invention may beutilized to support any desired torni ot display and that it may besecured to any torni of support, as tor example, a shelf, affording atree edge portion for engagement by the jaws l) and an edge torengagement by the ears e.

Having `now fully described my invention, what l claim and desire toprotect by Letters Patent is l. A display device comprising a springclip adapted to engage a support having a free edge, a display holdersecured to the clip, and a pair oi" tongues cut out of the body oit' theholder and extending at an angle thereto and in alignment with the clipwhereby they are adapted to engage the free edge oi the support engagedby the clip. Y I l 2. A display device comprising a spring clip adaptedto engage a support having a tree edge, a display holder secured to theclip, and a pair ot tongues cut out of the body of the holder and bentto ilorni hooks in alignment with the clip whereby they are adapted toengage the tree edge ot' the support engaged by the clipa A displaydevice comprising a spring clip adapted to engage a support having atree edge and provided with a pair ot' grips, a display holder' securedintermediate its ends to one ci" said grips, and a pair ot tongues'formed Ltrom the body et said holder adjacent its ends and extending atan angle thereto and in alignment with the clip whereby they are adaptedto engage the free edge of the support engaged by the clip.

if* 4. A display device comprising a, spring im clip ladapted to engagea support', having a free edge and provided With a. pail' of grips,

l a display beider secured intermediate its 5 ends to one of said grips,and a pair o'i tongues formed from the body of sai-d holder adjacent itsends and bent to form hooks' in alignment with the clip whereby they areadapted to engage the free edge of the support engaged by the clip.

in testimony ei which invention, have heieunto set my hand et Camden,New J e1'- seyr, en this 7th day of July, 1927. r ENOS B, DELLMUTH.
